In 1914 April 1 was a Wednesday. The only April fooling I see on this menu is the Mock Bisque Soup. Probably a coincidence.

*Black Bean Soup
O’Brion Potatoes
Corn Soufflé
Tomato Jelly Salad, Mayonnaise Dressing
Cream Wafers
Rhubarb Tapioca
Crackers
Cheese
Café Noir
In 1914 March 25 was a Wednesday.
In the recipe for Mayonnaise Dressing, Fannie Farmer says to use “A silver fork, wire whisk, small wooden spoon, or Dover Egg-beater may be used as preferred. If one has a Keystone Egg-beater, dressing may be made very quickly by its use.” The Dover eggbeater was the first rotary eggbeater sold in the US. The Keystone Egg and Cream Beater was more like a small churn, with beaters in a glass container with a lid. I can see how it would beat mayonnaise very quickly

Shamrock Wafers
Toasted Cracker

Café Noir
In 1914 March 17 was a Tuesday.
No corned beef and cabbage here! We do have some green foods and thematic desserts. Cream of Spinach Soup, Cucumber Ribbons, and Malaga Salad are all various shades of green. You’re also supposed to tint the lemon ice for the Irish Iceberg with leaf green. You also pour crême de menthe over it presumably the green colored version. And serve it with Shamrock Wafers.
I don’t know how the halibut fillets are suppose to be prepared, so I leave that up to you.
The Potato Nests are supposed to be filled with something. Maybe the Kernels of Pork?
Malagas are white grapes, which, of course, means that they’re green.
I can’t find a specific recipe for Shamrock Wafers. Maybe they’re just cookies cut in shamrock shapes.
There are three different kinds of crackers served with this meal! Souffléd Crackers (with the soup) are made with common crackers, Wheat Crispies (with the salad) are a commercial brand, and toasted crackers (with the cheese) could be almost anything.

*Sardine Cocktails

Savory Potatoes
Egg Plant à la Turque
Chiccory and Celery Salad
Montrose Pudding
Peanut Wafers
Wheat Wafers
Cheese
Café Noir
In 1914 March 15 was a Sunday.
Despite being called a pudding, Montrose pudding is actually a molded, frozen dessert with a very specific garnish.
I think the Wheat Wafers are probably Educator Wafers, a whole wheat cracker made in Boston.

French Fried Potatoes

*Turnips, New York Style
Lettuce and Celery Salad
Salted Wafers
Newton Tapioca
Crackers
Cheese
Café Noir
In 1914 March 12 was a Thursday.
I’m guessing Newton Pudding was named after the Massachusetts town of Newton, also the namesake of Fig Newtons (first produced in 1891).

Dinner Rolls
Fig Pudding, Wine Sauce
Crackers
Cheese
Café Noir
In 1914 March 9 was a Monday.
We’re having leftover roast beef from Sunday’s menu. Shapleigh is a town in Maine, but I don’t know why (or if) the roast beef dish is named after it.

Bread Sticks
Maryland Chicken
Hominy, Virginia Style
Corn à la Southern
Huntington Salad
Brown Bread Sandwiches
*Frozen Pudding
Sponge Cakes
Toasted Crackers
Cheese
Café Noir
In 1914 February 22 was a Sunday. It’s also a holiday, so we have a special, elaborate menu today in honor of the first president.
As Washington was a son of Virginia, the menu skews southern. Or, at least, a New England version of southern cooking… We get a very Bostonian salad and sandwich.
Hominy, Virginia Style might be the same as Hominy, Southern Style.
It’s interesting that there’s no cherry pie, a staple of mid-century Washington’s Birthday menus. Instead we get frozen pudding, but we’ll have to wait until tomorrow for the recipe.

Baked Stuffed Haddock, Hollandaise Sauce
Julienne Potatoes
Dinner Rolls
*Cole Slaw
Macedoine Jelly
Toasted Crackers
Pimiento Cheese
Café Noir
In 1914 February 18 was a Wednesday.
I haven’t found a recipe for Macedoine Jelly. I think it’s a dessert, although the Boston Cooking-School Cook Book glossary defines Macédoine as A mixture of several kinds of vegetables. A New Book of Cookery has a recipe for Macedoine of Fruit, in which the fruit is suspended in gelatin.
